Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski face off in Warsaw when England take on Poland in their next World Cup qualifying clash.
One is a three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner at 28, the other is still terrorising the Bundesliga at 33.
Here, Sportsmail’s No 9 Chris Sutton rates the greats…
Harry Kane will lead the line for England against Poland as they bid to continue their fine form
Lewandowski is, alongside Kane, one of the best strikers in the world and will pose a danger
FINISHING
Who would you want in front of goal if there was a trophy on the line? I’d go with Lewandowski. He is Bayern Munich’s executioner. He’s played six games for club and country this season and scored in all six.
Last season his shot conversion rate was a ridiculous 29.9 per cent, while Kane’s was just 16.8 per cent. Kane has a special way of smacking the ball from outside the box that troubles keepers, but Lewandowski is the greatest finisher in the world.
LEWANDOWSKI - 9.5/10
KANE - 8.5/10
Sportsmail's Chris Sutton believes that Lewandowski is the more seasoned finisher over Kane
CREATIVITY
With his talent for dropping into deeper positions to be involved in the build-up for goals, Kane is the more creative of the two. He provided 14 assists last season, the most of any Premier League player, including four in one afternoon against Southampton.
Strikers know the further you are from goal, the less likely you are to score. But Kane is willing to make that sacrifice. He has a skill set which includes an eye for a killer pass.
Lewandowski is not as involved in link-up play as Kane
